Love it!

So I bought this backpack back in 2022 (either wave 2 or 3) and I’ve been using it almost daily ever since. The reason I’m finally writing a review is a recent trip to the US.

While I was there, I picked up a pair of adjustable dumbbells (50 lb each). To avoid overweight baggage fees on the trip back home, I loaded about 80 lbs of plates into the middle compartment of this backpack (everything but the handles of the dumbbells). Carrying that much weight in a bag that was never meant for it naturally wasn't comfortable, but it was far more tolerable than I expected despite needing to walk quite a bit with it on. I honestly expected the seams or zippers to give out.

They didn’t. The bag survived the whole trip without a single sign of strain. No tearing, no warped zippers, nothing! no damage at all! I’m still using it daily and it feels and looks exactly the same as before.

I’m blown away by how well this thing held up, so it deserved a proper review.

I love the backpack, it's sturdy and fits all my stuff really well. The first thing I did with is basically helping a friend with their moving and it proved to withstand quite the abuse (abuse: packing it full, maybe putting a 5kg weigh in it only to see it take up less than half of the pocket). Now I use it every day. My peripherals (a keyboard and mouse), extension cord, laptop, tablet and some papers all fit in nicely in my back pocket, leaving the middle empty for other stuff. Maybe the battery pocket ain't the largest, but I was expecting way less.
Now about the ordering process, which isn't represented in the rating as I am rating the backpack, not the order process. I got a customs notice from the customs and VAT agency, which would be fine, if the currency displayed on the order was in CAD. I almost had to pay 30% customs and VAT combined on a product displayed at a price 100 USD higher than it should've been, as they reported it at 350 USD not 250 USD or 350 CAD respectively. LTT Store's support were unable to resolve the issue, due to how they do invoices and I had to contact the distributor to resolve the issue through them which took almost a month of wait in total, all the while my backpack was sitting in a customs warehouse, 30 minutes away from me by car.
Then there is the problem with charging for VAT, then after you pay it a second time for customs, you get refunded for. They were at least upfront about that in their support page, which I did read before ordering. It's just an inconvenience.

This backpack is great in many respect: lots of compartments for things like a meter, LTT Screwdriver, portable battery, cables, all sorts of tools like hex keys too ! and the biggest pocket to store things like raincoat, charger for me to recharge my e-bike and e-scooter on the go and so on.

Replacement backpack after my original one's zippers broke after 3 years (elements tore off from tape on the large front pocket, in the corners/bends).
I even got to keep the old, hopefully I can eventually find someone capable of replacing the zippers.
I trusted bro, and bro got my back. 10/10, would trust bro again.

Otherwise, fantastic backpack, the most durable I've ever had. Aside from the zipper failure it's holding up perfectly in every other area.
Very spacious and has well thought out pockets for techie on the go.
